<application>pgbench</application>
collects the following statistics for each statement:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>latency</literal> — elapsed transaction time for each
statement. <application>pgbench</application> reports an average value
of all successful runs of the statement.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The number of failures in this statement. See
<xref linkend="failures-and-retries"/> for more information.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The number of retries after a serialization or a deadlock error in this
statement. See <xref linkend="failures-and-retries"/> for more information.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
The report displays retry statistics only if the <option>--max-tries</option>
option is not equal to 1.
</para>
<para>
All values are computed for each statement executed by every client and are
reported after the benchmark has finished.
